I´d hear him call my name to go back and sit down with him....talk to him....we´d be sitting there in the dark....I could always hear his voice....but I could never see his face (?)....we´d talk about nothing most of the time....but then he´d start asking me where I was....howcome I was doing so bad in school, where I was getting my money from....pretty soon we´d be screaming at each other ....my mother´d be running in from the frontroom, trying, try and keep him off me, trying to get us from fighting with each other....and I remember I´d be, I´d be running out the backdoor, telling him....telling him how....it was my life and I could do what I wanted to do ....´´
